When I moved to the West Village in 2005, a few months later my mom sent me an email asking me if I was okay. She had seen that someone had been killed at Bleecker/7th, on my block. On Law and Order. I clarified that was fiction and she yeah-but-still-ed me.

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his *sincerely held antislavery views*

Twitter post: Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like
"he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used.

I asked why the flag was at half-mast during the Lincoln Center scene in Ghostbusters
Google result to the question: Why was the flag at half mast in Ghostbusters?

• Al Overview
In the 1984 comedy Ghostbusters, the flag was at half-staff because of the death of a character:
• Walter Peck: The EPA agent Walter Peck, played by William Atherton, dies in the movie.
In the United States, flags are flown at half-staff to mark a period of mourning for the nation or a state. The president, a state governor, or the mayor of Washington, D.C. can order flags to be flown at half-staff.

“MAD’s ingenious plan for a more efficient government” MAD magazine, december 1979
POLITICS DEPT
MAD'S
INGENIOUS PLAN
FOR A
MORE EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT
ARTIST: JACK DAVIS
Candidates will not be allowed to receive campaign contributions from individuals or large corporations.
However, they will be allowed to finance their campaigns by driving a cab or panhandling on the street.
Outside interests in large corporations, real estate ventures or the stock market will be forbidden to all politicians. How-ever, they will be allowed to moonlight as garbage men, soda jerkers, gasstation attendants or something equally suitable.
The President of the United States will receive a minimum wage
($2.65 an hour) and, at the end of his term, will be "tipped" by the American Public. Tips will not be allowed to exceed $5 per person (since that's too small to be considered a bribe).
The salaries of the President, his Cabinet members. and all members of Congress will not be raised in accordance with the rising cost of living.
since it's their job to keep it down in the first place.In order to prove their dedication to their job, all politicians will be forced to take a "vow of poverty" beforeentering office.
In order to speed up the Congress, a limit of 5,000 words will be placed on every speech, and a fine of $10 per additional word will be imposed on any Congressman who goes over this reasonable limit.
Because Congressmen havea tendency tofall asleep while on the job, a Surprise Quiz will be given at the end of each daily session of Congress, and the results published.
A fine of $50 (per word) will be charged to all candidates who use five-syllable words where a two-syllable word (or less) would dojust as well,
Govemment agencies will no longer be allowed to spend tax dollars (for any reason whatsoever) without first having to ask permission from each and every taxpayer.
Any politician claiming to be "one of the common people" will be required to live among the "common people" in a slum neighborhood while serving his full term of office.Expense allowances for Congressmen will not exceed $149.50 per week. (If they
can't manage THEIR budget, why should they be allowed to manage OURS?)
After the election, all candidates (winners OR losers) will personally have to eat all their posters. handbills, and stickers that haven't been removed by mid-December.
All political candidates will be obliged todrawup acontract explaining (in outline form) what they plan to do if elected. And at the end of their terms. they will be paid a flat fee for every promise that wasn't broken.
Toavoid further hanky-panky on Capital Hill, all new Secretaries will be chosen by a Committee of Congressional Wives.
Congressmen, Governors, Mayors and Supreme Court Judges will not be it's given bodyguards or Secret Servicemen since their job to keep the streets safe to begin with.
When they retire, all politicians will receive the same type of pension that is given to the average
